Speaker 1: For the back to back world champions of baseball.
Speaker 2: One of the greatest runs in the history of baseball.
Speaker 1: Immortality. is within their reach.
Speaker 3: Incredible.
Speaker 1: And while others make excuses.
Speaker 4: The only reason the Dodgers are doing this because they can,
Speaker 4: they print money.
Speaker 1: The Dodgers. This can't continue.
Speaker 3: It's not fair.
Speaker 1: Are making plans.
Speaker 2: Again.
Speaker 5: It's a singular focus on controlling what they can control.
Speaker 1: Now your pregame host of the world champion LA Dodgers,
Speaker 1: Tim Cates.
Speaker 6: Hi, everybody, and welcome to Morongo Casino Dodgers on deck
Speaker 6: on this glorious Saturday afternoon as we get ready for

Speaker 6: Series champions. 84-57 on this season, first place, and running
Speaker 6: away with the NL West. They got themselves a fight
Speaker 6: with the Atlanta Braves and the Milwaukee Brewers for the.
Speaker 3: Top two spots overall.
Speaker 6: In the National League with less than a month to
Speaker 6: go here in the regular season. After winning back-to-back games,
Speaker 6: the Dodgers give the ball to Tyler Glass now to
Speaker 6: look to make it three in a row. First pitch
Speaker 6: from Uniclo Field at Dodgers Stadium is coming up at
Speaker 6: 6 o'clock. Coming up here on Morongo Casino, Dodgers on deck.
Speaker 6: You are going to hear from Snellzilla. Blake Snell, that's
Speaker 6: coming up in 45 minutes. We get you, of course,
Speaker 6: the pregame thought to the Dodger manager, Dave Roberts. Up later,
Speaker 6: we'll get you a pitchy matchup. David Vasse joins us

Speaker 6: And in just a few minutes, we'll head out to
Speaker 6: Tim Neverett and Rick Monday.
Speaker 3: At the Galpin Ford Broadcast booth.
Speaker 6: Well, last night, Snell was dealing while the Dodgers offense
Speaker 6: came alive for the win.
Speaker 3: Blake Snell, there's no doubt.
Speaker 6: When he's healthy, he's one of the best pitchers in baseball,
Speaker 6: and he's healthy right now. Six scoreless innings last night,
Speaker 6: scattered just five hits along the way, while striking out seven.
Speaker 6: Since coming off the I-L, Blake Snell has made five
Speaker 6: starts now, 3-0 with a sub-1 ERA. and 38 strikeouts.
Speaker 6: The Dodgers offense, meanwhile, able to get to national starter
Speaker 6: Jackson Kent in the third back-to-back leadoff walks to start
Speaker 6: the inning. Two batters later, Mookie Betts, an RBI single,
Speaker 6: gave the Dodgers a 1-0 lead. The very next batter,
Speaker 6: one of the hottest Dodger hitters, Teosca Hernandez.
Speaker 2: Kike Hernandez leading off third. Mookie Betts off first, 3-1.
Speaker 2: Line drive, left center field.
Speaker 7: That baby's going to go to the wall. In to
Speaker 7: score is Quique Hernandez. Mookie Betts is on his way home.
Speaker 7: Throw to the plate.
Speaker 1: Not in time.
Speaker 2: Head first slide.
Speaker 7: And the Dodgers have a 3-0 lead on the RBI double.
Speaker 6: For Oscar Hernandez. Two-run double for Teo. He drove in
Speaker 6: the game-winning runs the night before. Two more with that
Speaker 6: RBI double. That's the top-tier play of the game brought
Speaker 6: to you by Arco. Quality top-tier gas for Les Dodgers.
Speaker 6: A 3-0 lead to Oscar Hernandez, by the way. The
Speaker 6: last five games, he's 9-for-19 with three doubles, a home run.
Speaker 6: And six RBI. And the fourth, Dodgers added to that lead.
Speaker 6: Alex Call, leadoff double. He would come around and score
Speaker 6: later in the inning on a Nationals air as the
Speaker 6: Dodgers had a 4-0 lead. Blake Snell cruising along, putting
Speaker 6: up zeros. Did it again in the fifth.
Speaker 3: Another scoreless frame in the top of the sixth.
Speaker 6: In the bottom of the sixth, the Dodgers got something
Speaker 6: they hadn't seen in a while.
Speaker 3: A home run from Kyle Tucker.
Speaker 7: The 0-1.
Speaker 3: Tucker with a fly ball to right. Heading on back
Speaker 3: is Cruz, and it is gone.
Speaker 1: A home run.
Speaker 7: Kyle Tucker's 12th home run of the year, and the
Speaker 7: Dodgers now lead 5-0.
Speaker 3: The Dodgers.
Speaker 2: Are waiting for Tucker to warm up the bat. It's
Speaker 2: been a struggle. The last seven games, 158. The last
Speaker 2: 30 games coming tonight, 190.
Speaker 6: Kyle Tucker with the home run, his first since August 8th.
Speaker 6: His first home run at Dodgers Stadium since June 15th.
Speaker 6: Dodgers a 5-0 lead. Snell with the six innings. Edgardo
Speaker 6: Enriquez put up a zero in the seventh. Kyle Hurt
Speaker 6: and Tanner Scott combined to get.
Speaker 3: Out of the eighth inning. The ninth got a little interesting.
Speaker 6: Seth Halverson couldn't get an out. The Dodgers would give
Speaker 6: up three runs. Jack Dreyer come in, limited the damage.
Speaker 6: Dodgers get the win 5-3 last night over the Washington Nationals.
Speaker 6: maybe a little closer than they had liked. Blake Snell
Speaker 6: gets the win. He's now 3-0 since coming back from
Speaker 6: the injured list. Dodgers now 84-57 on this season. They've
Speaker 6: won two in a row, and they look to make
Speaker 6: it three straight tonight.
Speaker 3: With Tyler Glass now on the mound. First pitch coming
Speaker 3: up at 6-10.
Speaker 6: And with more, we head out to the Galpin Ford
Speaker 6: broadcast booth as we say hello to Tim Nevrit and
Speaker 6: Rick Munday.
Speaker 8: Tim, thank you very much. Gorgeous day here at Uniqlo
Speaker 8: Field at Dodger Stadium. Going to be a wonderful evening
Speaker 8: as the Dodgers take on the Washington Nationals. Game two
Speaker 8: of this three-game series. Dodgers winning last night in game one.
Speaker 8: One back-to-back games now and looking for three in a row.
Speaker 8: Tyler Glasnow will make his third start since returning from
Speaker 8: the injured list. He's 4-0 with a. 279 earned run average.
Speaker 8: Big right-hander will take on a guy who's been a
Speaker 8: good surprise for Washington, Cade Cavalli, who is 12-5, but
Speaker 8: he's been their best pitcher this year. 3-12 is his
Speaker 8: earned run average. And some news and notes from around
Speaker 8: the Dodgers. This will be the third straight day, Mo,
Speaker 8: that Shohei Ohtani is not in the lineup, and they're
Speaker 8: going to have a conversation with him tomorrow. He's supposed
Speaker 8: to be hitting in the cage today. If he doesn't
Speaker 8: feel good tomorrow, the IL could be on the table,
Speaker 8: but as.
Speaker 2: Of right now, it isn't. Well, there's concern. You know,
Speaker 2: yesterday we heard another ailment, and that was the neck.
Speaker 2: So along with the left knee and the right biceps,
Speaker 2: it's the neck on top of it. But if we
Speaker 2: look back to what the last 12 games for Otani,
Speaker 2: he's not appeared to be himself in a lot of
Speaker 2: different areas, including just hitting 128, 5 for 39 in
Speaker 2: that particular stretch of games that he's played. And the
Speaker 2: Dodgers to say that they need him and they can
Speaker 2: use him is really an understatement. So in one particular time,
Speaker 2: that meeting tomorrow is going to be interesting to him
Speaker 2: for a lot of different reasons. Do you put him
Speaker 2: on the injured list and say, hey, look, we're just
Speaker 2: going to shut it down for a couple of days
Speaker 2: and then get better? Or are you running the risk
Speaker 2: if you activate him as far as putting him back
Speaker 2: into the lineup? Is one swing or maybe one step
Speaker 2: going to hinder him in getting healthier and healthier each
Speaker 2: and every day?
Speaker 8: Speaking of activating, the Dodgers have activated somebody you haven't
Speaker 8: seen this year. Bobby Miller, who has missed the first
Speaker 8: 142 games of the season, recovering from a right shoulder injury.
Speaker 8: He's been pitching in AAA, but he is active and
Speaker 8: available tonight. He has stretched out up to 50 pitches.
Speaker 8: He could be used in long relief tonight or maybe
Speaker 8: tomorrow afternoon.
Speaker 2: Yeah, joined the ball club yesterday. Officially then was on
Speaker 2: the taxi squad, but they made a roster change today,
Speaker 2: so he is active and raring to go. And you
Speaker 2: would imagine that the bullpen is going to be activated
Speaker 2: in tonight's game with Tyler Glass now going. And just
Speaker 2: his third start off the injured list, his tenth start overall.
Speaker 2: Perfect 4-0 to this particular point.
Speaker 8: Dodgers Nationals game two of this three-game set coming.
Speaker 3: Your way shortly, Tim. All right, thank you, guys.
Speaker 6: As we count you down to first pitch on this
Speaker 6: Saturday night, Dodger fans, get that.
Speaker 3: Game day meal on at Shakey's Pizza Parlor.
Speaker 6: Order that Shakey's Pizza, Chicken Mojo's, Shakey's.com.
Speaker 3: We're off and running here on Morongo Casino. Dodgers on deck.
Speaker 6: Coming up, you're going to hear from the manager, Dave Robertson, about...
Speaker 6: 15 minutes. We'll check in with David Vassie, of.
Speaker 3: Course, throughout the hour.
Speaker 6: He's going to go high and tight with Blake Snell
Speaker 6: on this Snellzilla Saturday, as he calls it.
Speaker 3: We'll break down this pitchy matchup.
Speaker 6: But up next, we'll check in with Kirsten Watson as
Speaker 6: we lead you up to Dodgers and Nationals on this
Speaker 6: Saturday night. First pitch coming up at 610.
Speaker 3: Thanks for being with us. I'm Tim Case.
Speaker 6: This is the back-to-back World Series champion Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Morongo Casino. Dodgers on deck. On your home
Speaker 1: for the blue all season long.
Speaker 3: It's the Dodgers and Nationals on this Saturday.
Speaker 6: Tyler Glass now. Kate Cavalli, the pitching matchup. First pitch
Speaker 6: from the ravine coming up at 610.
Speaker 1: This is the Otani Rewind. Presented by Mikado Shochu.
Speaker 6: Well, Shohei Otani not in the lineup last night, not
Speaker 6: in the lineup tonight. Three straight games that Otani has
Speaker 6: missed with the right bicep bothering him, the sore neck,
Speaker 6: and the sore left knee. Shohei Otani took some hitting
Speaker 6: in the cage earlier today and expects to talk to
Speaker 6: Dave Roberts and the coaching staff to find out tomorrow
Speaker 6: how he's feeling. Otani Rewind is presented by Nikaido Shochu,
Speaker 6: the official Shochu of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Discover Nikaido,
Speaker 6: discover Shochu.
Speaker 1: This is Kirsten's Corner with Kirsten Watson.
Speaker 6: Hey, Kirsten out joins us, brought to you by Cars
Speaker 6: for Kids, the easiest way to get rid of that
Speaker 6: old car. Donate today and that car can be picked
Speaker 6: up tomorrow that easy. Donate now at carsforkids.org. That's cars
Speaker 6: with a K. All right, Otani Watch continues. Day three
Speaker 6: and not in the lineup.
Speaker 9: Yes, still not in the lineup, but today is going
Speaker 9: to be hopefully a good day for Shohei Otani. He
Speaker 9: is actually going to be taking some swings in the cage,
Speaker 9: and Dave Roberts made it clear that With him taking
Speaker 9: this next step, they'll have a better idea as to
Speaker 9: how he feels coming out of it and what this
Speaker 9: is going to mean moving forward. Technically, the IL conversation
Speaker 9: is still on the table, but there was clarity that
Speaker 9: the IL for Shohei Otani would be a 15-day IL stint.
Speaker 9: And with only three weeks left of the regular season,
Speaker 9: I think there's kind of potentially some concern with it
Speaker 9: being that long and what happens if he is actually
Speaker 9: ready to go maybe in five days. or seven days.
Speaker 9: But ultimately, depending on how he feels coming out of
Speaker 9: the swings today, how he recovers tomorrow, they'll have a
Speaker 9: better idea as to just how they want to manage
Speaker 9: him moving forward.
Speaker 6: Looking at the lineup tonight, Kirsten. Freddie Freeman is back,
Speaker 6: but no Will Smith. What's going on with guys kind.
Speaker 3: Of in and out of the lineup?
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, as I just mentioned, with only three
Speaker 9: weeks left in the regular season, Dave Roberts, they're trying
Speaker 9: to find ways to continue to build up players for,
Speaker 9: in the case of Will Smith, who is just coming
Speaker 9: back from that neck injury. And isn't really in a
Speaker 9: position to be playing every single day just yet. The
Speaker 9: good news is that he did just play in back-to-back
Speaker 9: games in these last two games. So today is an
Speaker 9: off day for him, and then he should be back
Speaker 9: in the lineup tomorrow. Then you've got Freddie Freeman. He
Speaker 9: had a routine off day yesterday. He's back in the
Speaker 9: lineup today. And Dave Roberts was sharing that. Their approach
Speaker 9: to closing out this regular season, yes, there's still some
Speaker 9: time and technically two road trips, but he does want
Speaker 9: to find ways to get guys off their feet to
Speaker 9: keep them healthy and ready come October. So the next
Speaker 9: guy we'll probably be seeing that has a day off
Speaker 9: is going to be Tommy Edmund, and then we'll probably
Speaker 9: see Mookie Betts get a day. But he's just going
Speaker 9: to kind of shuffle the lineup and get guys in
Speaker 9: there to keep some guys a little bit fresh and
Speaker 9: then also get some guys to kind of take a
Speaker 9: day here and there.
Speaker 6: Looking at tomorrow, what's the plan as far as pitching
Speaker 6: is concerned?
Speaker 3: Because I know Bobby Miller is now active.
Speaker 9: Yeah, so with Bobby, first and foremost, he is someone
Speaker 9: who could be a part of the pitching plan today
Speaker 9: or even tomorrow. Dave Roberts said he feels comfortable with
Speaker 9: him taking down multiple innings, getting up to at least
Speaker 9: 50 pitches. We have seen some usage. So there are
Speaker 9: a couple guys that are down in the bullpen. But Dave,
Speaker 9: he did add that he looks at tomorrow's pitching plan.
Speaker 9: Majority of the game is going to go to Justin Wobleski.
Speaker 9: So whether Justin starts or if they have an opener
Speaker 9: and then he takes down the bulk of the game,
Speaker 9: he is in that plan and he could be supported
Speaker 9: by Bobby Miller if need be. They're really just kind
Speaker 9: of finding ways. They're in the middle of nine straight,
Speaker 9: so just kind of finding ways to either give some
Speaker 9: rest to some of the higher leverage arms in the
Speaker 9: bullpen and see how we can eat up some innings.
Speaker 9: Because then on Monday, that's also a TBD, and Dave
Speaker 9: Roberts did say that they're going to have to make
Speaker 9: a move for that start on Monday as well.
Speaker 6: Final weeks of the season, always fun, and the Dodgers
Speaker 6: still in the playoff race as far as the top
Speaker 6: two spots in the National League, so it makes it
Speaker 6: even more intriguing, even though they're running away with the division.
Speaker 3: Kirsten, we appreciate it. We'll check in with you after
Speaker 3: the game.
Speaker 6: Still to come here, Almarongo Casino Dodgers on deck. We'll
Speaker 6: dive deeper into this pitching matchup. David Vasse goes high
Speaker 6: and tight with Blake Snell. Up next, though, an injury report,
Speaker 6: and we'll hear from the manager, Dave Roberts. It's the
Speaker 6: Dodgers and Washington Nationals on this Saturday night.
Speaker 3: First pitch is 6-10. I'm Tim Cates. This is the
Speaker 3: back-to-back World Series champion Dodgers. Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Morongo Casino. Dodgers on 10. On your home
Speaker 1: for L.A. Dodgers baseball.
Speaker 6: Morongo Casino Dodgers on deck continues as we lead you
Speaker 6: up to first pitch.
Speaker 3: Dodgers and the Nationals.
Speaker 6: Morongo Casino Resort and Spa, a grand slam for good times.
Speaker 3: Tyler Glass now on the mound. First pitch coming up
Speaker 3: at 6'10. This is the L.A.
Speaker 1: Dodgers.
Speaker 6: Injury report presented by ucla health the official medical partner
Speaker 6: of the los angeles dodgers as we've discussed shohei otani
Speaker 6: sore knee elbow neck not in the lineup again today
Speaker 6: for the third straight day a couple of scratches from
Speaker 6: the initial line of the day roberts put out no
Speaker 6: dalton rushing he was supposed to be the designated hitter
Speaker 6: elbow discomfort hopefully more on that coming up in just
Speaker 6: a little bit also no max muncie he was in
Speaker 6: the lineup initially but He is not feeling well.
Speaker 3: He is sick, so he is out of the lineup
Speaker 3: as well.
Speaker 6: Eric Lauer on the IL. Roki Sasaki on the IL.
Speaker 6: Andy Pajas on the IL. Edwin Diaz and Will Klein
Speaker 6: all on the IL as well. Bobby Miller has been
Speaker 6: on the injured list and in AAA all season, but
Speaker 6: he was just activated today.
Speaker 3: To be some help out of the bullpen.
Speaker 6: Let's head back out to the ravine and check in
Speaker 6: with the Dodger skipper.
Speaker 2: Anything else for Dave?
Speaker 10: Dave, do you think other questions for Dave?
Speaker 2: Dave, can you just describe? Dave, can you talk about
Speaker 2: the pressure?
Speaker 1: In the dugout with Dave Roberts. Brought to you by
Speaker 1: Concordia University, Irvine's Masters in Coaching and Athletics Administration.
Speaker 11: My expectation is he's going to hit today in the cage.
Speaker 11: And so I think that, you know, once he hits
Speaker 11: and how he comes out of it, we'll be telling
Speaker 11: for tomorrow and obviously leaving his availability open for today.
Speaker 11: But tomorrow is more of a conversation. You know, if
Speaker 11: I if I hear that he comes out of it, fine.
Speaker 9: You had Freddie down yesterday.
Speaker 1: Of course, he's back out there today. Will Smith down today.
Speaker 6: How do you find just.
Speaker 9: Having to manage your guys, ones who are obviously continuing
Speaker 9: to get healthy, but just in general managing them.
Speaker 11: To pose out the regular season? Yeah, you know, this
Speaker 11: is a good one in the sense of there's nine days,
Speaker 11: nine games in a row. So front of mind is
Speaker 11: Tommy now. Will, just kind of the buildup. I think
Speaker 11: with Freddie, it's just good to get him off his feet.
Speaker 11: I think I've done a good job with Max. You know,
Speaker 11: Tommy's playing well, but I do think that, you know,
Speaker 11: getting him a day, and I think potentially that next
Speaker 11: series I'll give Tao a day. So, yeah, it's a balancing.
Speaker 11: And then the last one was probably thinking about Mookie.
Speaker 11: But it's good when you have good players and you
Speaker 11: can kind of backfill.
Speaker 1: Dave, depending on how the show comes out of hitting
Speaker 1: the cage today, would it be fair to say that if.
Speaker 11: There's not improvement by Sunday, the IL becomes.
Speaker 5: A more legitimate conversation?
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think so.
Speaker 11: You know, the other part is, you know, where we're
Speaker 11: at right now. If it just makes sense that the
Speaker 11: other alternative, you know, whoever it might be coming up,
Speaker 11: makes sense for the short term. But yeah, if it
Speaker 11: doesn't feel good today, then that certainly should be on
Speaker 11: the table. You know, not necessarily. I think if we don't,
Speaker 11: you know, not necessarily. I think that, yes, we would
Speaker 11: lose the three back dates. You know, but also there's
Speaker 11: a chance, like we said the other day, that we
Speaker 11: could almost just be in bed with the idea that
Speaker 11: whether it's six, seven, eight days is better than ten
Speaker 11: days if he's trending in the right direction. I mean,
Speaker 11: as far as the IL. Oh, there you go. Then
Speaker 11: there you go. So I'm not clear on that. So
Speaker 11: if that's the case, then again, to not lose him
Speaker 11: for 15 days.
Speaker 2: Is meaningful.
Speaker 3: All right, there's Dave Roberts.
Speaker 6: Yeah, some decisions need to be made because you certainly
Speaker 6: don't want Shohei Otani out for 15 days if it's
Speaker 6: not going to take 15 days for him to recover.
Speaker 6: That's Dave Roberts down the dugout. Dodger fans, great coaches
Speaker 6: build great teams, and great coaching starts with great leadership.

Speaker 6: Coming up here on Dodgers on deck. We'll check in
Speaker 6: with David Vasse. Why the late scratch for Dalton rushing?
Speaker 2: Hmm.
Speaker 6: The elbow flaring up again. We'll find out next as
Speaker 6: we lead you up to Dodgers and nationals.

Speaker 6: Dodgers and Nationals game two of this three-game set on
Speaker 6: this Labor Day weekend. Tyler Glass now. First pitch at 6'10.

Speaker 10: I accept everybody for who they are.
Speaker 1: This is Dodger Insider, David Bassett.
Speaker 3: All right, David.
Speaker 6: Bobby Miller activated Kyle Hurt. Gets sent back down to
Speaker 6: AAA Oklahoma City. It's been a while since we've seen
Speaker 6: Bobby Miller.
Speaker 10: It really has.
Speaker 5: And I got to tell you, Tim, Bobby Miller in
Speaker 5: spring training told me that, yeah, my shoulder's not feeling
Speaker 5: that great. And he never threw during the six weeks
Speaker 5: of spring training. Not a lot of people notice that,
Speaker 5: but certainly he confided in me. Took a lot longer
Speaker 5: than Bobby Miller ever thought. He's here at Dodgers Stadium
Speaker 5: for the first time this season. He will be pitching
Speaker 5: out of the bullpen likely tomorrow, but possibly tonight. And
Speaker 5: here's what Bobby told me earlier today about this opportunity
Speaker 5: as a reliever.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you got to be all in, especially with a
Speaker 4: team like this. You got to fully embrace any role
Speaker 4: you can get. So just being here is a blessing already.
Speaker 4: So whatever role you can get, you got to embrace it.
Speaker 5: Have you changed anything as far as your pitch mix?
Speaker 5: Have you consolidated things?
Speaker 4: Pretty similar pitch mix. Just trying to be really competitive
Speaker 4: in the zone with all my pitches. Get ahead of hitters,
Speaker 4: be in attack mode, especially when you're out of the pen.
Speaker 4: You just got to be in full attack mode all
Speaker 4: the time. Not get too finesse out there. But yeah,
Speaker 4: like I said, glad to be here, but at the
Speaker 4: same time, I'm trying to dominate as well.
Speaker 5: This is a very interesting arm coming out of the
Speaker 5: bullpen now, Tim, because if you remember Bobby Miller, as
Speaker 5: a starting pitcher was pumping 100 miles an hour. So
Speaker 5: if he can command his fastball and maybe sprinkle in
Speaker 5: his changeup and not try to use five or six
Speaker 5: different pitches, all of a sudden now you may have
Speaker 5: a very interesting surprise arm coming coming out of the
Speaker 5: bullpen so i hope he gets a real opportunity yeah.
Speaker 6: We'll see if it's tonight or tomorrow david is brought
Speaker 6: to you by ford summer sales event don't wait hurrying
Speaker 6: now for the best offers of the year go to
Speaker 6: buyfordnow.com or your southern california for dealer for more information
Speaker 6: ford official vehicle of major league baseball it's been a
Speaker 6: couple of changes to the initial lineup that dave roberts
Speaker 6: put out a couple hours ago david including dalton rushing what's.
Speaker 5: Going on Well, when I got here to Dodger Stadium,
Speaker 5: Dalton Rushing was throwing about a 90 to 100 feet,
Speaker 5: you know, just really long tossing and stretching it out
Speaker 5: like he has been, right? And then he took the
Speaker 5: next step in his progression, and the Dodgers had him
Speaker 5: throwing to bases, throwing from behind home plate to second
Speaker 5: base as a catcher would. And then all of a sudden,
Speaker 5: we find out that he scratched from tonight's lineup because
Speaker 5: of right elbow discomfort. You just hope that it's soreness
Speaker 5: from doing as much throwing as he did today, and
Speaker 5: you hope that he didn't cause more damage to that
Speaker 5: right elbow. We'll find out more after the game, but
Speaker 5: certainly concerning for a guy. The Dodgers were so optimistic
Speaker 5: that A, would avoid surgery on his right elbow, and B,
Speaker 5: could catch by the end of this regular season. So
Speaker 5: certainly a setback.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 3: All right, David, great stuff.
Speaker 6: We'll check back in with you in just a little bit.
Speaker 6: Dave's going to go one-on-one, of course, with Blake Snell
Speaker 6: on this Saturday. Coming up, we'll dive deeper into this
Speaker 6: pitchy matchup as well. But up next, your Dodgers magical moment.
Speaker 6: Don't you go anywhere. I'm Tim Cates with the back-to-back
Speaker 6: World Series champion Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Morongo Casino. Dodgers on deck.
Speaker 2: What a home run!
Speaker 1: On your home for the blue all season long.
Speaker 6: It's the Dodgers and the Nationals on this Saturday night.
Speaker 6: Tyler Glasnow, Kate Cavalli, the pitching man. We'll hear from
Speaker 6: Blake Snell coming up in about 15 minutes.
Speaker 3: First pitch set for 6-10.
Speaker 1: It's time for the Hoffie magical moment. It's magical. Presented
Speaker 1: by Hoffie hot dogs.
Speaker 6: Now we go back to 2016 Dodgers and nationals game
Speaker 6: for the NLDS at Dodger stadium. Dodgers down two games
Speaker 6: to one facing elimination. Clayton Kershaw pitching on three days rest.
Speaker 6: Dodgers and nationals were tied at five in the eighth inning.
Speaker 6: Blake trying it on and relief. When the Dodgers were
Speaker 6: able to get a little two-out magic going against them,
Speaker 6: Chase Utley, a huge RBI single, gave the Dodgers the
Speaker 6: lead going to the ninth inning with Kenley Jansen on
Speaker 6: to close it out.
Speaker 12: Dodgers are one strike away from a trip to Washington
Speaker 12: that they so desperately want and need.
Speaker 2: Here's the 2-2.
Speaker 12: Ground ball slowly hit to the right side. Utley flips
Speaker 12: it to Jansen. Out at first, and the Dodgers hang
Speaker 12: on and win it 6-5.
Speaker 1: Next stop, Washington on Thursday.
Speaker 10: A one-game season.
Speaker 7: These two teams are now tied at two games apiece.
Speaker 6: Dodgers would win it 6-5 to force a Game 5
Speaker 6: in which the Dodgers went to Washington, D.C.
Speaker 3: And pulled out a win. Remember, Clayton Kershaw came out
Speaker 3: of the bullpen and closed it out. in dramatic fashion.

Speaker 3: Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 2: As we were saying.
Speaker 1: This is Morongo Casino Dodgers on Deck on the official
Speaker 1: home of L.A. Dodgers baseball.
Speaker 6: Dodgers and Washington Nationals on this Saturday night.
Speaker 3: Tyler Glass now. Cade Cavalli, the pitching matchup.

Speaker 6: away from the start of the game. Now, Verizon, you
Speaker 6: can lock in that low price for three years so
Speaker 6: you can save big. Visit your SoCal Verizon store today.
Speaker 6: We welcome in Charlie Steiner.
Speaker 13: All right, Tim, we're down to the final 23 days
Speaker 13: and 21 games in the regular season. Dodgers and Nationals
Speaker 13: game two of this three-game series after the Dodgers 5-3
Speaker 13: win last night. Dodgers at 84-57, 10 in front of
Speaker 13: San Diego, 10 in front of Arizona, and a magic
Speaker 13: number of 12. The Nationals 67-76, fourth place National League East.
Speaker 13: trailing Atlanta by 17, the Braves in Philadelphia tonight, Milwaukee
Speaker 13: at Cincinnati.
Speaker 2: First, a quick look back at.
Speaker 13: Last night, Mo, and Blake Snell was once again outstanding.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, he knows how to pitch. To me,
Speaker 2: he's like a conductor of an orchestra. I mean, he
Speaker 2: sets the tempo. I think he reads bats. I talk
Speaker 2: about this a lot. A pitcher that reads bats of
Speaker 2: the hitters. What do I mean by that? Well, a
Speaker 2: guy that maybe is overpowered with a fastball, a guy
Speaker 2: that's out in front of an off-speed pitch. Does he
Speaker 2: handle the ball inside? Is he having trouble with the
Speaker 2: ball away? And that's kind of how he conducts the business.
Speaker 2: And for him to go to six innings, no runs
Speaker 2: on the five hits, yes, he walked a couple of batters,
Speaker 2: and yes, there were a couple of stolen bases, and
Speaker 2: then a caught stealing on top of it. but he
Speaker 2: really sensed the tone once he takes the mound and
Speaker 2: he can avoid some bats.
Speaker 13: Since coming off the injured list August 11th, Gone 3-0,
Speaker 13: an ERA of. 93, 38 strikeouts and just 12 walks.
Speaker 13: And so today, off the injured list, is Tyler Glasnow.
Speaker 13: And he's going against a very interesting right-hander, Cade Cavalli.
Speaker 1: Who is he?
Speaker 13: Well, he's got a 12-5 record, a 3-12 ERA. And
Speaker 13: the Nationals have won eight of Cavalli's nine starts since
Speaker 13: the All-Star break.
Speaker 2: And he's done a very good job. And one of
Speaker 2: the things you look at, too, is how well he pitches.
Speaker 2: First of all, he can pitch out of tough spots.
Speaker 2: Why do I say that? Well, he's induced 14 ground
Speaker 2: ball double plays. And as we know, the Dodgers have
Speaker 2: hit into a large truck full of double plays, more
Speaker 2: than any other team this year. The other thing about Cavalli,
Speaker 2: if you look at when he gets ahead in the
Speaker 2: count this year, it's just a 182 batting average against him.
Speaker 2: So if he gets out in front early of a hitter,
Speaker 2: you may want to go into protection mode in the
Speaker 2: next couple of pitches.
Speaker 13: The Nationals have won eight of Cavalli's nine starts since
Speaker 13: the All-Star break, during which time his ERA is just
Speaker 13: 183 and opponents hitting just 188 against him. And then
Speaker 13: there's Glasnow, who's been very good since his return.
Speaker 2: From the injured list. Yeah, third start off the injured list,
Speaker 2: and we talked about the low batting average at Cavalli. Well,
Speaker 2: how about Glasnow? making his 10th start overall. Batting average
Speaker 2: against you, just 159 against the right-hander. Does it matter
Speaker 2: if it's lefty or righty? No, they're both hitting exactly
Speaker 2: 159 against him.
Speaker 13: So between Glasnow and Snell, off the injured list for sure,
Speaker 13: but they're They're healthy. The arms are sound. There's not
Speaker 13: been a whole lot of taxation on either of those arms.
Speaker 2: No, there has not been. And, you know, there's still
Speaker 2: questions about what's going to be happening with Shohei Otani.
Speaker 2: Not in the lineup tonight. And how much longer is
Speaker 2: he going to miss action? The two letters are still
Speaker 2: out there. I-L. Is that a possibility? Stay tuned.
Speaker 13: So Otani is missing three consecutive games. It's the first
Speaker 13: time since coming to the Dodgers where he's lost three
Speaker 13: in a row. Of course, he's got a left knee issue,
Speaker 13: a right biceps issue, and now a neck issue. He's
Speaker 13: battered and bruised. You and I were talking off air
Speaker 13: last night about Otani losing. his physical condition being what
Speaker 13: he is or what it is, can we realistically expect
Speaker 13: him to pitch heading into the postseason or in the postseason?
Speaker 2: I'm not one of the trainers. I don't know the
Speaker 2: level of discomfort that he has, but the neck, quote-unquote,
Speaker 2: just popped up yesterday as Dave Roberts is talking about it. So,
Speaker 2: I mean, there are some issues there. And if we
Speaker 2: look from a hitting standpoint, the last 12 games, Shohei
Speaker 2: Otani is 5 for 39. That's only a 128 batting
Speaker 2: average against. No home runs, no RBIs, but a very
Speaker 2: low batting average in that period of time, and he
Speaker 2: has not looked like himself. Today is September the 5th.
Speaker 13: He began his throwing program back on August the 8th,
Speaker 13: as Shohei Ohtani did, as a hitter since that time,
Speaker 13: hitting just. 204 with 19 hits in 93 at-bats and
Speaker 13: 32 strikeouts.
Speaker 2: So that's an issue.
Speaker 13: Whether or not he'll be back sooner or later, we're
Speaker 13: all going to find out together. The only thing we
Speaker 13: know for sure is he's not in the lineup today.
Speaker 13: Lineups and first pitch are coming up, Tim.
Speaker 3: All right, thank you.

Speaker 1: a Dodger player.
Speaker 3: It's an engagement of endearment.
Speaker 1: This is High and Tight.
Speaker 5: This guy is on everybody's radar now, but he has
Speaker 5: not forgotten the little people, the guys that were there
Speaker 5: since day one, and that is my guy, Snellzilla, who
Speaker 5: is in disguise with the hoodie over his head because
Speaker 5: everybody wants a piece.
Speaker 10: Of the two-time, two-time Cy.
Speaker 5: Young Award winner, a guy that's thrown a no-hitter in
Speaker 5: his career, and a World Series champion. That's the one
Speaker 5: and only Blake Snell. Thanks a lot for the time,
Speaker 5: and I think everybody now knows. that you're joining us.
Speaker 2: You're a wild boy, man.
Speaker 10: Smelling the best. Thanks to you, Snellzilla. I got you
Speaker 10: with the cologne.
Speaker 2: Thanks for having me.
Speaker 5: I think that was the condition, right? You said, I
Speaker 5: need a good smelling interview. So I'm going to spray
Speaker 5: you with some of my top shelf stuff.
Speaker 14: Yeah, you got some Baccarat on. So yeah, you'll be
Speaker 14: smelling nice all day.
Speaker 10: Thank you so much.
Speaker 5: And you were smelling nice last night after the game,
Speaker 5: six shutty against one of the best offenses in baseball.
Speaker 5: When you look at a game like last night, how
Speaker 5: much do you dissect or do you move on?
Speaker 14: I'll think about the next couple of days of what
Speaker 14: I could have done better, where I thought that I
Speaker 14: did really good.
Speaker 2: And then, you.
Speaker 14: Know, you create a plan of, okay, what are the
Speaker 14: areas that need to get better and what are the
Speaker 14: areas that need to stay consistent and continue to improve
Speaker 14: that gradually and kind of what I do so a
Speaker 14: lot of today is just really thinking going over really
Speaker 14: like understanding the way I felt in situations and then
Speaker 14: how to build and grow on.
Speaker 5: Them I never asked you this before I know you
Speaker 5: do your homework we see the snailzilla binder and the
Speaker 5: way you dissect a lineup before you go into a
Speaker 5: start but how much do you visualize success before a start.
Speaker 14: Uh yeah it's a good amount um Yeah, I just,
Speaker 14: I don't know, I just think of myself as the
Speaker 14: best in the world, and that's what I want to be,
Speaker 14: and that's what I'm chasing on being, and that's all
Speaker 14: I really care about, yeah.
Speaker 5: Do you feel that there are still doubts after everything
Speaker 5: you've accomplished in your career?
Speaker 10: People still doubt what you can do?
Speaker 14: Yeah, but they don't know me, so it don't matter.
Speaker 5: Hunter Fadusha told me in Detroit, he said, having a
Speaker 5: pregame meeting with you is one of the most enlightening
Speaker 5: moments greatest pregame meetings with the pitcher he's ever been
Speaker 5: part of because you have a plan when you walk
Speaker 5: into that room and you go down the lineup and
Speaker 5: I asked him whether it's like a rap cadence like
Speaker 5: what's the cadence of the whole meeting and he said
Speaker 5: yeah there's a little there's a rhythm to the whole
Speaker 5: thing yeah.
Speaker 14: There's definitely a rhythm um but yeah I like to
Speaker 14: go into it knowing you know where I'm going to
Speaker 14: attack where my success is going to be where I'm
Speaker 14: going to need to challenge them and their strengths and
Speaker 14: and then you the game will tell you you know
Speaker 14: you feel the game out and you go through it
Speaker 14: it'll tell you what you need to do when you
Speaker 14: need to you know get on the accelerator versus be
Speaker 14: more passive and yeah it's pitching.
Speaker 5: And you call your own pitches with the pitch com
Speaker 5: how much has that helped you and just you know
Speaker 5: getting everybody on the same page yeah i.
Speaker 14: Love it because you know if if i go up
Speaker 14: a hit or if anything bad happens you know it's
Speaker 14: on me it's not on the catcher it's on me
Speaker 14: um I can't.
Speaker 10: Be here like, why didn't you call it?
Speaker 2: You know, I'm the one calling it. So I love it.
Speaker 10: Blake Snell is our guest.
Speaker 5: When you look at this whole staff, it feels like
Speaker 5: you guys really feed off each other. What kind of
Speaker 5: competition in a good way is there amongst yourself, Scooble,
Speaker 5: Glassnow and Yamamoto?
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's, it's amazing.
Speaker 14: You got four, you know, a starters, um, And we're
Speaker 14: all competing against each other, but we're all pushing for
Speaker 14: each other to be great. You know, set the bar
Speaker 14: high and the next person to set it even higher.
Speaker 14: So I've loved this staff since I've been here with Glass, Yama, Shohei.
Speaker 14: I've really loved our starting staff. I think we all
Speaker 14: get along. We all support each other. We're all pushing
Speaker 14: in the same direction. We all want to be great.
Speaker 14: And that's an amazing thing. And then now adding Scooble
Speaker 14: to the mix. I mean, he's fitting perfectly, and he's
Speaker 14: only getting better. He's getting more comfortable. He's starting to
Speaker 14: get his understanding of the game. We're starting to understand
Speaker 14: what he likes to do. It takes a little bit
Speaker 14: of time, so let that time happen, and then, you know,
Speaker 14: he's been pitching good anyways, but I know he's going
Speaker 14: to pitch even better.
Speaker 10: Yeah, do you feel like we've seen the best of
Speaker 10: Scooble yet?
Speaker 14: No, I think, I mean, tough first innings has been
Speaker 14: kind of the cadence with him lately, and It's him
Speaker 14: feeling it out. Once he gets going and gets that
Speaker 14: rhythm and he's comfortable, he's going to be the Scooble
Speaker 14: everyone talks about.
Speaker 5: Blake Snell is our guest. Before I let you go,
Speaker 5: I've got to let you in on something you would appreciate.
Speaker 5: My fifth-grade son was at his friend's house. They're playing
Speaker 5: MLB The Show, and they said they put you to
Speaker 5: the test on MLB The Show. And I said, hey,
Speaker 5: did Snellzilla pass?
Speaker 1: And he laughed.
Speaker 10: He said, of course he did.
Speaker 14: Yeah, of course it's right, but honestly, my card in
Speaker 14: the MLB The Show is trash. You need a sinker
Speaker 14: and a cutter to be good in that game bitching.
Speaker 10: So you say they're shortchanging you on the card even
Speaker 10: though you pass?
Speaker 14: I just know that he loves me, period. So I
Speaker 14: appreciate that, but that card's trash.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 5: Hey, The Show, clean it up. You got to give
Speaker 5: Snellzilla some love. Now everybody's texting me. Everybody's calling this
Speaker 5: guy a savant. You should have known that before. You
Speaker 5: got to believe before you seek.
Speaker 2: Why are you hating?
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 5: I'm here for you. Thanks a lot for the time.
Speaker 5: Can't wait to do this again on another Snellzilla Saturday.
Speaker 14: I can't wait either, man. Appreciate it.
Speaker 5: And Blake Snell will receive a gift card to Capitol Grill.
Speaker 5: Capitol Grill in Burbank, possibly. An upscale, relaxed spot with
Speaker 5: a great bar, great steaks, and maybe a two-time, two-time
Speaker 5: Cy Young Award winner hanging out.
Speaker 2: I love him.
Speaker 10: We'll send it back to you in the studio.
Speaker 2: Unbelievable.
Speaker 3: Snellzilla Saturday. It is a, well, it's a thing of beauty.
Speaker 6: As we lead you up to first pitch, Dodgers and
Speaker 6: Nationals on this Saturday night. Coming up, we'll dive deeper
Speaker 6: into this pitchy matchup.
Speaker 3: Don't you go anywhere. I'm Tim Case. This is the
Speaker 3: back-to-back World Series champion, Dodgers. Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is Morongo Casino. Dodgers on tape.
Speaker 12: On your home for L.A.
Speaker 1: Dodgers baseball.
Speaker 6: It's the Dodgers and the Washington Nationals on this Saturday night.
Speaker 6: First pitch from the ravine coming up at 610.
Speaker 1: And now, before the Dodgers hit the diamond, we look
Speaker 1: at the pitching matchup.
Speaker 6: Brought to you by your Toyota dealers, we make it easy.
Speaker 6: Cade Cavalli, by far the ace of this Washington Nationals staff.
Speaker 3: 12-5 with a 3-12 ERA.
Speaker 6: He's only 28 years old, big right-hander, first-round pick of
Speaker 6: the Nats back in 2020 at the University of Oklahoma,
Speaker 6: making his Major League debut in 2022.
Speaker 3: This year, he's now made 29 starts.
Speaker 6: Tonight is start number 30, tied for the most in
Speaker 6: the major leagues. Cavalli ranked 7th in the National League
Speaker 6: in strikeouts, top 10 in ERA. Last time out, Cade Cavalli,
Speaker 6: four no-hit innings, eight strikeouts, This was in a no
Speaker 6: decision against the Miami Marlins.
Speaker 3: In the month of August, Cade.
Speaker 6: Cavalli, six starts, 4-1 with a 175 ERA. How about
Speaker 6: his last nine starts? He's 7-1 with a 183 ERA
Speaker 6: and a 188 opponent's batting average. Tonight is his first
Speaker 6: career start against the Dodgers. Cade Cavalli, by far the
Speaker 6: ace player. on this Washington Nationals pitching staff. Tyler Glass now,
Speaker 6: he'll go for the Dodgers. He is 4-0 with a.
Speaker 2: 279 ERA.
Speaker 6: The 33-year-old right-hander in his 11th season now in the
Speaker 6: big leagues, his third with the Dodgers. Like Blake Snell,
Speaker 6: he's been hurt a lot of this season, making just
Speaker 6: his 10th start. He made seven starts before getting the
Speaker 6: back spasms in May, then didn't return until August 25th.
Speaker 6: Now his third start since coming back off the I.L.,
Speaker 6: Last time out, seven innings, one run, two hits, six strikeouts,
Speaker 6: and a win over the Tigers in Detroit. Before that,
Speaker 6: his first outing was against the Braves, in which he
Speaker 6: gave those three runs in the first inning, but then
Speaker 6: locked it down the next four innings. In eight career games,
Speaker 6: five starts against the Washington Nationals. Tyler Glass now is
Speaker 6: 3-1 with a 5.85 ERA.
Speaker 3: He faced them back on April 4th at Nationals Park.
Speaker 6: He allowed just two runs over six innings while striking
Speaker 6: out a season-high nine batters. Tyler Glass now and Cade Cavalli,
Speaker 6: the pitching matchup. It's the Dodgers and the Nationals as
Speaker 6: we are 15 minutes away from first pitch.
Speaker 3: Keys to the game are coming up next. Don't you
Speaker 3: go anywhere. I'm Tim Case. This is the back-to-back World
Speaker 3: Series Champion Dodgers Audio Network.
Speaker 2: As we were saying.
Speaker 1: This is Morongo casino Dodgers on deck on the official
Speaker 1: home of LA Dodgers baseball.
Speaker 6: Dodgers and Washington nationals on this Saturday night. Tyler Glass now.
Speaker 6: Cade Cavalli, the pitching matchup. Tyler Glass now 4-0 on
Speaker 6: this season. Looking to get to 5-0. No Freddie Freeman
Speaker 6: in the lineup last night. No Shohei Otani in the
Speaker 6: lineup last night. Freddie Freeman is back. Shohei Otani is not.
Speaker 6: Of course, Max Muncy was scratched as well. He is
Speaker 6: under the weather and not feeling well. So a different
Speaker 6: looking Dodger lineup tonight with Tyler Glass now on the
Speaker 6: mound going up against one of the best pitchers that
Speaker 6: the Washington Nationals have. In Kate Cavalli, first pitch coming
Speaker 6: up at 6.10. As we get you ready for the
Speaker 6: start of the game with the Sapporo start.
Speaker 3: Great moment. Start with Sapporo beer, whatever your taste preference.
Speaker 6: Sapporo has you covered with a variety of crisp and
Speaker 6: refreshing lagers, including light and non-alcoholic beers. Sapporo, good with sushi,
Speaker 6: great with baseball. Before first pitch, let's head back out
Speaker 6: to the booth one final time. Tim Nebret and Rick Monday, guys.
Speaker 2: Tim, thanks again.
Speaker 8: We're getting you ready for the first pitch of this one,
Speaker 8: and Tyler Glasnow.
Speaker 1: Will throw it.
Speaker 8: 4-0 this season for the 279 ERA. He'll make his
Speaker 8: 10th overall start in his third since returning from the
Speaker 8: injured list last time out against Detroit.
Speaker 2: Very good.
Speaker 8: Seven innings, allowed only two hits and one run in
Speaker 8: Sunday's win over the Tigers.
Speaker 2: He's not allowed many opportunities, just a 159 batting average
Speaker 2: against him. Tonight, the 10th start, he's given up just
Speaker 2: five home runs. On the flip side, the Dodgers have
Speaker 2: to figure out how to get to Ken Cavalli because
Speaker 2: he has really been a big, big story for the Nationals.
Speaker 2: 30th start, he's 12-5, gives up a very low batting
Speaker 2: average against him. He helps himself out. Ground ball double plays,
Speaker 2: 14 already this year.
Speaker 8: He'll become just the second pitcher in Major League Baseball
Speaker 8: to make his 30th start. The Marlins' Sandy Alcantara is
Speaker 8: the other. Cade Cavalli against Tyler Glasnow, Dodgers and the
Speaker 8: Nationals coming up from Uniqlo Field at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 6: All right, Dodgers first place atop the NL West, 10
Speaker 6: games up on the Padres, 10 and a half games
Speaker 6: up on the Arizona Diamondbacks. As we speak, both those
Speaker 6: teams are losing in their respective games. The Milwaukee Brewers
Speaker 6: have the best record in baseball, are in a rain
Speaker 6: delay in the bottom of the fourth inning in Cincinnati
Speaker 6: with a 2-1 lead, but that game again is in
Speaker 6: a rain delay. The Atlanta Braves already lost today, so
Speaker 6: the Dodgers have a chance to pick up some ground
Speaker 6: and take over second place as far as the National
Speaker 6: League standings are concerned.
Speaker 3: But Tyler Glass now on the mound.
Speaker 6: When we come back, Dodgers need to take care of business,
Speaker 6: make it three in a row in the win column.
Speaker 3: First pitch when we return. Enjoy it.
Speaker 6: I'm Tim Cates, and this is your back-to-back World Series champion,
Speaker 6: Dodgers Audio Network.
